Funny you didn't care as long as it was the Obama administration borrowing more money than previous administrations combined.

The liberals have been doing this a lot recently.

Well, I guess it's the same one.

Most liberals have a very limited range of responses.

Tax "reform" was the easy part. The fights and debates coming up about what will need to be cut will be epically-controversial and difficult.


The Republican tax bill was the easy part. The next debate could be much uglier.

These issues are the can being kicked down the road.

So you want to bankrupt the country? These tax cuts are not paid for! Taxes will have to go up and since the tax cuts for the rich are permanent, that means the middle class will see big cuts in benefits and higher taxes. Military wont be slashed either.

Exactly so.

Do you understand the difference between spending in a huge recession (as a result of deregulation of Wall Street) and when we have full employment? You support this massive decrease in taxes for the rich in order to blow up the debt when we should do the opposite. Irresponsible.

As if that would ever happen.

Will they admire the balance in their quarterly 401k statements and then declare that there is no such thing as trickle down?

Yeah. They probably will.
Of course they will. Happens all the time.

lol, people actually think prices they pay in the store will be lower now. When has that ever happened? Corporations are awash with money and will use this new tax cut for stock buybacks and dividends, not giving Joe Sixpack a break at the store! LOL!
